The scientific preoccupations in the last period have led to new tendencies in history of the press, history that is more and more emphasized. Because of this, I tried to bring a contribution to it, analyzing the discussions carried out in 1861-1868 regarding the appearance of Association periodic, in the place where it was supposed to appear and the role that was to be followed in the recent founded society. This research tries to solve the issue of Transilvania magazine's appearance, magazine that although was foreseen by the statutes of the society did not emerge until 1868 after fervent discussions between the main players that were supporting it and those who did not believe in its usefulness. I divided this research into two parts. In the first part, I followed the evolution of the discussions carried out between the members of the Association periodic and control mechanisms of the cultural organization during 1861-1867, that also presented the decisions of the General Assembly of 1867 which led to the appearance of the magazine. In the second part I tried to resolve the issues regarding the editing of the magazine, issues that appeared in the fall of 1867 and in the first part of 1868. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
